The New Orleans Baseball Club left
last night for Birmingham. A speci.
men Of petty meanness, bordering on
hoodlumism, was displayed Just prior
to their departure, the like Of which has
barred the doors OF first clsss.hotels In
many cities Of the South against ball
teams In general. A number Of the
players made complaint at the clerks
desk Of the Peabody, where they were
quartered, Of having lost sums Of
money ranging from ten to thirty.five
cents from their rooms. As all OF the
employees have been in the service Of
the hotel for long time, and
known to be honest, the clerk
politely informed them that the
loss must have occurred oatside,
Referred to the housekeeper, che more
than likely told the truth In saying
they robbed each other. Campau,
who claimed to have lost 50 cents, was
especially bolsterous and denun-
ciatory, stigma'izing the employees az
thieves etc. Such conduct viii have
ono salutsry efiett-bssebsll clubs In
ths future will DO given a wide berth
Hotels OF the first and even second
class have already learned that they
are not such desirable guests that q
rope is paced around their necks
with which TO drsg them within the
wells. On the other hand. q msjority

attorneys Of Brandon are said TO have
been engaged for the defense. The
remainder Of this week will be spent
In coming to terms. II Is 10 be hoped
the trial, whatever may be
the outcome, can be had
without further delay. For
two months and more the
discussion OF the CAGE has filed the
columns OF the Mississippi press.
Collsterally, thsre has been developed
scandal Of all sorts, and the ramifica-
tions OF the case have extended
into politics and the church. II
is time that the general social
disturbance 1t has created should
be sllayed by q court trial. II is also
time that the press should cease parti'
san appeals In the interest Of one side
or the other. The court, and the ury,
and the lawyers. row have the floor.
Tho change Of venue from jackson TO
Brandon was made upon the mo-
ton Of the prosecution, and
the people Of Mississippi expect fall
trial. They will. Of course, watch thu
proceedings narrowly and will not toll
crate with patience anything that ma!
savor Of uniairness. The people hav'
confidence In the judge, and 1t Is to b

that II will decide dispassior
